Question

Here's my situation. I have gold emblems on my black SC. My chrome wheels are coming soon. I will have to replace 2 of my 4 emblems (instead, i will replace all) because i need to get my trunk spot-welded and repainted (converting from 95 to 97 spoiler)

What options do I have for my emblems? I could go gold, chrome, black chrome, or stainless steel. I was thinking that if i go with gold, i could gold the rivets on the wheels, might look cheesy or good. chrome would look allright, but the black sc looks too plain with chrome/stainless steel (my opinion). or, i could use black chrome and black chrome the rivets on the wheels, but black chrome on black might not look good. What else could I make my emblems? Other than the 4 listed above, all I can think of is platinum.

opinions, comments? thanks.

Rim size <=18" ... chrome.
Rim size >= 19" ... gold. My 2c.

Rim size > 20" ... affix whale tale. Kidding. :-)

Default my 2 cents

I had the same situation.
I opted to get rid of the gold emblems, w/custom platinum plated ones. They are a showstopper, they don't look like chrome, and have a richer chromy look...

The gold just looks old nowadays..so I wouldn't get the
tire things and the other things you were suggesting.

You have a dark car like mine(dr green)..so the black gold emblems don't look good at all. Those emblems look awesome on a grey or silver or white car..but not
off the darker paint.

So my suggestion is to go w/chrome, or if you can..get
platinum plating.

Get Toyota emblems.

Replace the front with the SOARER (1/3 lion 1/3 dragon 1/3 eagle monster) very nice very cool.

Default lol...


hehe... the soarer monster.... The only gripe I have with having the Soarer monster is that it's too dark and doesnt stand out. My ones are deep red in colour. I think that's the only colour I've seen them in. I was actually going to remove the Soarer monster and replace them with silver/chrome Lexus badges but keep the "Soarer" enblem on the back.

The soarer monster is also alot harder to clean then standard badges because it's the monster badge with a plastic black surround and really needs a toothbrush to clean properly.

Cheers,

Toan.
